durbeyfield

I got durbeyfield coming in this week. They haven't been around all that long, but they have a very confident selftitled ep and a very nice website. Go see for yourself. Some of them will be in for some tunes on Tuesday October 19, so listen in.

Here's more about durbeyfield:

Mark and Tom met in a room at high school. Four weeks later they found Antonio in another room. They then found Simon and James, who were led to believe they shared the same parents. Through the successful use of doors and instruments they all played in the same room, revelling in the intoxicating process of creating music.

Soon after, they began playing in pubs in Melbourne. Before one of these gigs, a boarder of Scottish descent from the same high school, asked if he could come and drink the band's beer since he had run out of money. durbeyfield declined but he showed up anyway and successfully drank the rider. He kept this form up, gig after gig, until it was found out that he played trumpet. To this day he is still trying to play off his debt.
